Fresh Win 7 BSOD

[gaza4]

So a few weeks back my OCZ Vertex SSD died and I got a Vector through RMA. My OS is literally only 2 days old and I've really only got my basic drivers and programmes installed.

My system has blue screened 4 times in the space of 2 hours. They have occurred while watching videos and just general web browsing, nothing unusual.

I was getting regular blue screens on the old SSD but system restore sorted that and I put it down to the SSD being on the way out. Now that its happening again and on a fresh install and new SSD I'm not sure what the cause is.

 

Anyone got any advice on where to go from here???


Basic Spec
Win7 64 Bit Pro SP1
i5 4570 3.2ghz
OCZ Vector 120GB
MSI z87i Gaming board
MSI GTX760 ITX
8GB Corsair Vengence

Corsair CX750M PSU

what does windows event viewer say the reason for the BSOD was?

Screen shot attached, the info for each event is the same

 

The other thing i did was uninstall iTunes and Malwarebytes, the blue screens started happening a few hours after they were installed...

It looks to me (with my basic reading skills of expertise) that your system thinks it's being force shut off and something doesn't like that. By force shut off I mean "Hold power button down until the system goes blank - through force rather than 'Windows is shutting down.'"

 

Check to see if your cabling is correct. Reseat the cables to see if that fixes it.

Member title is fitting, I can say STRM is the best of best you'll get on here.

Lolz, I never stop installing Windows

It may sound dumb, but if you're in a power strip, try doing without, or change wall locations. Even though it may have just started and is a software issue, many ppl have been having this issue and it was power-related most times...you can view a pretty active thread about it here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/46250-63-random-restarts-critical-kernel-power-event-task.

Event ID 41 isn't a useful code. Anyone can get id 41 from anything that prevents their machine from shutting down properly. Such as holding the power button, freezing, BSOD, or losing power. I recommend downloading bluescreen viewer and digging through the mini dump file from the last BSOD. You can also disable automatic restart on BSOD so you have to time write down the info related to the bluescreen. Post your results here when possible.

im not sure but...i know my dads laptop had the exact same problem and code. but his HDD was dieing. and it couldnt read certain parts so it just killed windows.

could possibly be it?

You get this code after every BSOD, its the computer booting back up and reporting that there was a crash, you need to look for the error codes before this one.

check the 24 and 8 pins??? yeah they all seem fine...

 

since uninstalling itunes and malwarebytes i have had a significant amount of up time (7-8 hours trouble free as opposed to 6 BSODs in 1.5 hours!!!) so am gonna leave it be and see how things go. if it stays clear for a week or so i will try intriducing one of those programs back in and see how that goes.

 

as regards checking the logs, i'll look into that further if it starts happening again...

the best thing to do would be to download a program that analyzes the actual dump file that's created with each BSOD like tmlhalo mentioned.  I have always used WhoCrashed to look at BSOD's and try to figure out what's causing them.  If it is a device driver causing it, it will point you in the direction of what driver is causing it, or if it could be hardware related.  If nothing specific shows up, then my first guesses as far as hardware issues would be power supply, ram, and mobo in that order.  If you have the ability to swap out those parts just for troubleshooting purposes, do that and see if it acts any differently (obviously mobo would be challenging to get a hold of the exact same model just to troubleshoot, that's why I test the other two parts first).
